Low Carb Spanish Style Cod

This tasty Keto fish recipe is packed with fats and flavor and inspired by Spanish cuisine. Our simple low carb dish is prepared with tender cod fillets, smoky Spanish chorizo, a hint of lemon zest, aromatic onion and garlic, fragrant rosemary, paprika, and finished in a tomato sauce. This makes a delicious main with your preferred Keto sides or can be served as a Keto tapas dish.

Can I Use a Different Fish?

We have used skinless cod fillets for our Keto fish recipe. If you would like to use an alternative fish, you can substitute with another white fish such as haddock, sea bass or mahi mahi. Please be sure to adjust both your macros and cooking times as needed when using different ingredients.

Serving Suggestions

This Keto fish recipe makes a great tapas plate and can be served alongside other low carb tapas inspired dishes for a Spanish themed meal. Alternatively, the cod and tomato sauce can be served with your preference in low carb sides. Perfect served over hot cauliflower rice or with a hearty Mediterranean salad and low carb bread for dipping.
